US print culture and José Martí’s Crónicas on US-Indigenous peoples’ rights
This essay argues for the centrality and increasing influence of late nineteenth-century US print culture, in the form of printed books, mass-circulation newspapers, and literary magazines, on José Martí’s US-based crónicas (chronicles) that reflect his gradual critical interpretation related to the violence and land dispossession of Indigenous people in the US and their lack of basic rights. Martí’s interest in and writings about US-Indigenous people are connected to the increased advocacy for Native peoples’ rights in US print culture by white reformers, particularly Helen Hunt Jackson. My analysis builds on the works of scholars who have studied Martí’s writings on US-Indigenous people, including his 1887 translation of Jackson’s reform novel, Ramona (2002 [1884]), and draws from Indigenous and Indigeneity scholars’ emphasis on settler colonialism and Indigenous sovereignty. While Martí initially concurred with reformers who advocated for the passing of the Dawes Act of 1887, which offered US citizenship to Native groups who accepted allotment, he came to question US jurisdiction over US-Indigenous populations in part through his realization that Indigenous people and Black people in the South have shared a history of racialization, violence, and disenfranchisement within the confines of the US nation-state.

Child Sex Trafficking: Strategies for Identification, Counseling, and Advocacy
The human rights violation of sex trafficking continues to occur in the United States at alarming rates. Although sex trafficking affects individuals across various demographic groups, this crime disproportionately affects children. Counselors who work with children and adolescents are uniquely positioned to identify, support, and advocate on behalf of sex trafficked youth who may experience barriers to emotional and physical wellness. Extant literature on counseling sex trafficking survivors remain scarce and illuminate the need for victim identification, trauma-informed interventions, and advocacy strategies that support the unique needs of child sex trafficking survivors. To address these disparities, this article describes victim identification techniques, outlines trauma-focused interventions for counseling sex trafficked youth, and presents advocacy strategies. The implications for counseling child sex trafficking survivors are illuminated through a case study.

Child Labour in Iran: Problems and Solutions
The confusion of domestic laws in integration with international laws, the incorrect implementation of laws, and the economic crisis are among the most important factors of child labour in Iran. Examination of the current situation in Iran is impossible due to a lack of transparency. The first step should be to take control of working conditions. By creating special places to work and implementing measures such as recording information about child labour status and planning to improve children’s health and education, activists can help improve children’s working status.

New Voices, New Partners
Purpose-This study examines how civil society engagement at the UN on human rights in North Korea changed following the 2014 Commission of Inquiry (COI). Design, Methodology, Approach-This study analyses patterns in civil society engagement with the UN Universal Periodic Review (UPR) for North Korea in 2009, 2014 and 2019, before and after the COI. Findings- Organizations submitting to the UPR increased, from 18 in 2009 to 57 in 2019, after the COI. The number of joint submissions and first-time submitters also rose significantly, as did the diversity of submitting organizations. The article contends that the Inquiry, and the momentum around it, indirectly contributed to an increase in the number, diversity and connectivity of organizations making submissions to North Koreas UPRs. Practical Implications-Revealing new patterns of UN engagement could help civil society reflect on and improve advocacy approaches. It also expands scholars' understanding of civil society engagement with UN human rights mechanisms and the impact of COIs on civil society advocacy. Originality, Value-On the COI reports ten-year anniversary, this article adds to existing research on North Korea human rights networks and the outcomes of the Inquiry, by examining the impact of the Inquiry on civil society engagement at the UN.

An Ecological Framework for Transgender Inclusive Family Therapy
Despite current demands for transgender inclusive family therapy, family therapy training programs provide limited coursework on gender identity and inclusive practice. As a result, written resources are critical for family therapists wanting to provide inclusive services to transgender clients. In the interest of expanding available resources, this article uses an ecological framework to summarize research findings on the unique resiliency and difficulties experienced by transgender people. This was done in the interest of identifying implications for family therapy and distilling these implications into a collection of concrete suggestions for transgender inclusive family therapy practice. A conceptual model and a table of concrete suggestions are included at the end of the article.

25 Years: Exploring the Health and Human Rights Journey
Williams et al discusses various issues related to the journal, highlighting the 25th anniversary of the modern human rights and health movement in 2020. Jonathan Mann started the movement building upon the Constitution of the WHO, which in 1946 identified the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health as one of the fundamental rights of every human being. While we draw a simplified history of health and human rights, we can also draw a simplified history of public health. This history, over the same time period, would almost certainly emphasize the increasing attention to social (and political) determinants of health and the critical role of inequality and racism in driving population health. Using evidence and advocacy, public health is increasingly drawing attention to the ways health is fundamentally shaped by the economy and social structures.
